The game doesn't even begin until 8 p.m. MT and it's on the gawdawful "Peacock" network.   The opening line began an Oregon favored by 19 1/2 points.  Yesterday it dipped down to 18 1/2 points but this morning it's back up to 19 1/2 points.

Oregon - other than the stats for their starting QB - did not look impressive against the lowly Idaho Vanholes.  But the reason for that MAY be the fact that Oregon was without two offensive starters for the Idaho game.  One being their starting RG (Indiana transfer Matthew Bedford) and USC WR transfer Gary Bryant JR.   Bryant apparently will be good to go for the Boise State game.  Bedford is questionable.   None of Boise State starters - as far as I can tell - are injured.

Oregon's starting QB - Gabriel Dillon - injured his hand during the game versus Idaho but he's expected to be good to go for the Boise State game.

Wish you guys luck, but your secondary better step up if you guys want to have a shot at the upset. 

Agreed 100 % on that.  It's ironic that the Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson was the former D.C. and it's the defense that continues to do poorly (it was the same last season).

From what I've read from the Oregon media outlets they are in full panic mode because of the horrible play of their offensive line.   I didn't watch much of their game but apparently their O-line was just awful last weekend.   Hopefully the Broncos D-line and linebackers can use that to their advantage.

As of Thursday morning the point spread on the Boise State @ Oregon game is now up to 20 points.   IF I was still a betting man I'd be very tempted to take the 20 (or 20 1/2 if it goes up later today) points and Boise State.  I write that here because BOTH teams have their problem areas.  With Boise State the secondary is the obvious area that needs to improve (and it will) and with Oregon their offensive line is the problem area.

Refs also ejected our team captain on defense on a sus targeting call.  I mean it wasnt even called a foul, let alone targeting. Even the broadcast B10 ref said it wasnt targeting

They’ll have to eject Jeanty.

Refs swallowed their whistle. Allowing clear PI as the ball is in the air. Going to be a tough out Boise. Playing against 11+ Refs in that stadium. 

Some things never change like blaming refs for our losses.  The Broncs lost by our defense giving up big plays all night.  Including a kickoff and punt return for touchdowns plus three different scoring drives of five plays or fewer.  Oregon outplayed us when it counted.
